These windproof, water-resistant essentials pack the perfect weight and brightness for chilly, dark conditions. Underarm stretch panels provide a better fit and added breathability. We've paired black with NightLife and Brite Orange to make you more visible on your runs after dark.

Great jacket for light to moderarate rain. Have had it out in typical Seattle weather and it's kept me quite dry. It's a little warm above 60 degrees, but in the 40-60 degree light rain, it's perfect. True to fit, very visable, comfortable collar and sleeves.

I was interested in a good running jacket for cool and wet mornings here in Portland, so I ordered both a The North Face "Torpedo" and this Brooks jacket to compare the two. They happened to arrive on the day, so I literally compared them side-by-side. The decision was easy. The Brooks jacket had a sturdier zipper, nicer features, better and more refined sewing, better fit, and thicker/more substantial fabric.

I have a different Brooks running jacket that is a couple of years old and fantastic. I ordered this jacket in the nightlife color to run and bike in the dark of winter. The material and styling were nice, but the fit is way off. The armholes and shoulders are way too 'fitted' and tight. Apparently, Brooks has updated their fit - and not for the better. The updated Infiniti jacket also has the same problem, so it seems to be their new 'fit'. Sadly, I had to return this jacket.

I run ultra marathons. I have to get up early and run in the dark. Where I live it is very flat and no trails. I have to do most of my training on the streets. I want to be very visible when I am running at 3 and 4 am.
